I'm considering that.

Makaveli.

Check the first thread for a full description.

Price should be somewhere between $100 to $150 depending on many things.

Are you in?

ICE. You are already in.

Nobody is late yet. I haven't even made the prototype for the R34 yet.

Look's like I will have different ones for R32 and R33!

I don't think I will be ready for payments for another month yet, so don't worry too much.

Okay, Update time.

Yesterday I went and bought some P.V.C pipe, 3 inch in diameter, which I am going to heat up and bend to make up a dummy pipe to take to the fabricators.

This will give them a better idea as to a couple of things.

It was also suggested to me yesterday to use 3 inch pipe the whole way and simply reduce the diamter with a reducing hose from 3" to 2.5".

This is sounding like a good idea because if somebody goes a changes a turbo with a bigger mouth, all they would have to do to the inlet duct is change the reducing hose.

If anybody feels this will be a problem, please let me know. I think that if the reducing bush has a resonable angle on the step that it will be fine.

Any problems, please post, if you don't have a problem with it, please don't post as this thread is going to be obscenely long soon!

Thank AnFz, you have put the quantity at 50!!

I need a couple of things please.

Could somebody with a standard AirBox from an R32 and R33 please photograph and post a pic of the airbox. View needed is from the AFM outlet side.

I know that the R34 air goes into the top of the box, through the filter and into the AFM, and I think that the R33 and R32 air goes in the bottom, through the filter and out the top.

Please post a pic or two to help me out.

(P.S I had a look at the Apexi POWER INTAKE kit, and it costs from $500 up, plus freight! The Power Intake is basically what I'm making now!)

Hey Guys.

Just took my jig and the pipe that Jager lent to me (THANKS JAGER) over to my fabricators and they are going to make up a prototype for me. May not get it before the cruise but I'm hoping I will.

I've got an R33 and R32 rubber pipe here and from what I can see, the section immediately before the turbo is the same, with the BOV and PCV return bits in the same spot, but the actual location of the AFM is different.

Looks like each one will be a different pipe. Shithouse.

Oh well, just makes it more fun.

I've decided that the hoses will come from Shift Performance and these will be in Blue.

I know that conflicts with some stealth concepts but they seem to have the right stuff at the right price.

They also have red versions of the hoses but they are more expensive.

More about this towards the end of the project.

I don't yet have firm prices as I'm waiting for the prototype to be made up to recieve a price from my fabricators.

I have prices on all other bits though.

You will use your existing hose clamps from the AFM and Turbo, and I can supply extra clamps for the silicone hose (one for AFM and one for Turbo).

As we are going to have to cut the BOV and PCV return pipes back about 20 mm each, I will also supply the silicone (or rubber, depending on what sizes are available) hoses and clamps for these.

As you can see, this is a fairly in depth project.

Anyway, I'm going to be anxious until I get my prototype either just before or just after the cruise in Melbourne, so hopefully I will be able to show people my wares soon.

Bob,

I'm gonna put you down on the list anyway, because I know the prices are going to be irresistable and the quality will be second to none.

You can always pull out later.

I seem to be Whoring my own thread.

Okay, I need a little help and the use of an R32 and R33 Skyline for a Saturday morning.

I need to do what I did to my R34 and make up a jig for my fabricators.

This will involve you coming to my work on a Saturday morning for about 3 to 4 hours and helping me remove bit of your engine bay in order to remove the rubber duct and weld some rings together to make the jig.

You would preferably be a bit hands on so we can get it pulled apart before 10am as that's when my fabricators go home, and so we can go home and wax our cars for the cruise.

This will happen on Saturday the 15th (Day before the cruise)

That's an R32 and R33 with STANDARD AIRBOXES fitted, or at least bring your standard airbox for the day.

Thanks, please let me know.

BASS OUT

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
